Lockdown rules are changing fast. Will that mean York Ebor may be open to a few lucky people or will it still take place behind stable doors?
Be prepared and choose an outfit you can dress up or dress down without compromising on the glamour.
The Welcome to Yorkshire Ebor Festival 2020 takes place on 19th–22nd August. At the time of writing it is unknown whether spectators will be allowed, and ticket bookings have currently been suspended.

For dressing up and dressing down, strike gold with Rebbecca Rhoades Alice Amber Gold top as this off the shoulder style top has the matching Shelly Amber Gold skirt to create a chic outfit for the races.
Both in cheerful mustard yellow, the top has a front pleated detail, nips in to the waist and flares at the bottom. Price £140. The midi skirt is high waisted with a mermaid frill hemline. Price £100.
Don’t worry if the races are closed, you can watch with a few friends at the pub, or at your own garden gathering. The top will still work, just dress it down a pair of shorts.
Denim, cargo, cycle or Bermuda shorts, any style will look good. We’ve chosen silky Ganni yellow rose shorts in 100% silk with a high waist. Price £194, available from YOOX.com.
Jewellery will always dress up an outfit. – choose a few pieces from our Summer Sparklers article.
Alternatively, there is the Black freshwater pearl collar necklace by Pastel Gems via Etsy. Price £40.
